• The parameters in the near-miss-to-Weber's law
• Consistency of monomial and difference representations of functions arising from empirical phenomena
• The measurement theory of dense threshold structures
• Systematic covariation of the parameters in the near-miss to Weber's law, pointing to a new law
• Analytical methods in the theory of psychophysical discrimination. II: the near-miss to Weber's law, Falmagne's law, the psychophysical power law and the law of similarity
